Fight to keep bank branch open

People who bank at Bank of America in the Oak Harbor Safeway should fight to keep this branch open.

A lot of folks will be affected by its closure as it is 30 miles to the bank in Mount Vernon and this branch being open on Saturday is a real good thing for a lot of folks. The bank in Safeway is always busy on Saturday and it will be a great loss for Oak Harbor and Whidbey Island. We will all have to change banks.

I, for one, will have to change banks as I cannot get to Mount Vernon to do my banking. I have been with Bank of America for over 30 years.
